Welcome to the Q&A Forum

What about site speed. -https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/

No this is ok. The old site will stay in the index for a few more weeks.

Can you identify if the missing traffic is all organic?

p.s. you've checked your google analytics installation?

Going HTTPS and a new domain name is quite a big change.

You will defiantly experience a drop in traffic but this should recover. But as you've changed domain names this could take 3 months.

A 90% drop is still big, but as your now averaging page 4 this is somewhat understandable.

Your average position used to be page 3. You're now averaging on page 4. This is part of the reason.

Have you lost a lot of referral traffic when you lost the backlinks.

Or is the traffic missing from organic?

Check analytics > acquisition > all traffic > channels

Is it basically the same site but with a different domain name?

i.e. all content / titles and meta descriptions the same?

Hello

Just to clarify this bit

"-Comprehensive redirects were done to the domain. Please see attached Search Console form for the permanent redirect. "

Is this the only redirect measure you have taken? (this is not sufficient)

You need to contact your domain name provider, online or on phone. Ask them to forward the old domain to the new domain.

If the new website structure is the same then all the URLs will connect up. Any that don't need redirects put in place done on the server of the new domain.

No this is not normal. Something is wrong.

Go into search console. Is your sitemap still running the old sitemap or has it been updated? Is the new domain fully crawled? If your site map is incorrect and 404ing this needs fixing.

Have you done comprehensive 301 redirects to the new domain? How many 404s do you have in search console? Have you used domain forwarding and resolved the urls at the new domain?

Also do you still have the search console with the old domain in it? Look at search analytics (in search traffic), what is your average position? compare to new domain - what is the average position for that. Have you had a big rankings drop? You must have, but this will show you the scale of the problem.

You can expect a domain authority drop with a new domain name. This will climb back up.

The loss of backlinks and traffic however would suggest your 301s are not complete which will impede your DA recovery.

How many 404s do you have in search console?

It should on every page. At least every page that has the potential to activate a featured snippet/knowledge card/knowledge panel etc.

Re: 2nd question - It's difficult to say without seeing your site. Personally I would some research to see what featured snippets are available to you. Target the snippets. (if that is your goal) What are your competitors featuring in etc.

If you PM me a URL I'll give you a list of search terms that trigger potential snippets.

Here's some more info

No I don't think this will.

A bounce means there has not been a second interaction on the page, and you are encouraging second interactions. A link is being clicked on the page.

I realize this is creating a new tab. But as long as it's the same session (session cookie carried over) then this will not be a bounce.

You can stay on a page for 15 mins and leave, and this will be counted as a bounce. It's all about the second interaction.

The bounce rate on the new tab is a different matter. If this tab is just closed after use then every visit to these tabs will be a bounce. That will not affect the rankings of the original page.

What about the page authorities of the individual pages that are competing.

Does the weaker ranking site have decent internal linking to spread the pagerank around? e.g. breadcrumbs/page level links?

Ok. Is there space in your H1? Also the first sentence of the first paragraph?

Have you analysed the backlink profile?

Do a quick Domain Authority check.

Have a page for the pillar topic and one for the sub topic if you have the word count to justify it.

Otherwise sub topics can be H2s

if you have two separate pages I would avoid keyword cannibalization were possible. Keep your keywords on the page that target them.

However it may be necessary to talk in the context of pillar content. If you do mention the Pillar keyword, make it a text link to the pillar page. That way google will attribute the use of that word to the pillar page when ranking - and it will in fact strengthen the pillar page.

Does that make sense?

Can you install a responsive menu on your website? So your link count is not doubled?

On the 'manage campaigns' page. Click the setting cog on the right of the campaign.

Then click archive

This is from the Q and A

Q.  Can I change the domain later?
A.  You cannot change the domain of a campaign once it is created. If you need to track content, rankings, etc. on a new subdomain or domain, you must create a new campaign.  Don’t panic – archiving and adding campaigns is easy.

You can archive the old campaign

You'll probably want confirmation from moz. But I don't think you can transfer data to a new campaign.
